Overview

The KP254XTMA2 is a high-accuracy absolute pressure sensor designed for harsh environments, featuring an integrated 10-bit temperature sensor and SPI interface. It is AEC-Q100 qualified and provides a measurement range of 40 to 115 kPa with a specialized focus on reliability through built-in self-diagnosis features.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers a high accuracy of +/- 1.5 kPa and integrated 10-bit pressure and temperature resolution, reducing the need for external conversion circuitry. Its automotive qualification and self-diagnosis features ensure high system-level functional safety in mission-critical applications.

Applications

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensing
Used in automotive engine management systems to monitor intake pressure for precise fuel injection timing.
Industrial Process Control
Monitors atmospheric or system pressure in automated manufacturing environments requiring high accuracy and SPI communication.
Barometric Altimeters
Provides precise altitude data for weather stations or navigation equipment within the 40-115 kPa range.
Medical Respiratory Equipment
Assists in monitoring airway pressure in ventilators or diagnostic tools where 10-bit resolution is required.

Key Specifications

Applications Board Mount

Getting Started

Interface the sensor via the 4-wire SPI bus to a microcontroller using a 5V supply. Ensure the PG-DSOF-8-16 package is correctly mounted to avoid mechanical stress on the sensing element, and implement the SPI protocol to read both the pressure and temperature registers sequentially.
